Page 14 of The Baby Twist
I rolled my eyes at him.
“It’s fine. He can come back with me.”
We were immediately taken to a room, and I was instructed to change into a gown.
“What do I need this for?” I asked.
“The doctor will want to do an ultrasound to check the baby. Then we’ll go from there.”
“What about her foot?” Lucas asked. “Look at it. You can clearly see something isn’t right.”
“We will deal with that after we check the baby. Let me help you change into the gown,” the nurse spoke.
“I can help her,” Lucas said as he took a step forward.
“You can wait outside.” I pointed towards the door.
The nurse let out a tiny laugh.
“Boyfriend?” she asked as she helped me remove my pants.
“One-night stand.” I smiled.
“Ah, I see. He didn’t harm you, did he?”
“No. I tripped walking into his apartment building.”
“He’s really hot.”
“Yeah. It’s about the only thing he has going for him.”
She laughed as she helped me lay down in the bed and put an ice pack over my foot.
“I think I love you.” She grinned. “The doctor will be right in. Hang tight.” She squeezed my hand.
Chapter Seven
Jenna
Lucas walked back into the room and sat in the only chair next to the bed.
“You don’t have to stay. You can go and get to work on your project.”
“Just stop. I’m staying.”
“This is your fault, you know,” I said.
“My fault? How is this my fault?”
“If you hadn’t said the things you did, I wouldn’t have left, and then I wouldn’t have tripped running after your dumb ass trying to get my suitcase back.”
“No. No way are you blaming this on me. You’re the one who came to my penthouse out of nowhere and told me you’re pregnant. No phone call, no warning, nothing. How the fuck did you expect me to react?”
“I knew you’d be in shock, but I didn’t expect you to accuse me of sleeping with other guys right after you and saying the baby is yours to get money out of you. That isn’t why I told you, Lucas.”
“I’m not discussing this now.”
“Hello there. I’m Dr. Reynolds, the OB/GYN on call.” He walked over and held out his hand. “You must be Jenna.”
